On Mike's Blog on Bud's Blog

This comment is in reponse to the discussion spurred from the CBS news article posted by Professor Gibson. I agree with Bskool Bloggin's comments about the impact bloggers are having on the way media conglomerates are subject to even greater scrutiny. I do have to say though that I tend to disagree with what you said about smaller organizations having less credibility and therefore less responsibility to report factually (if that is indeed your argument). It seems to me that the larger the organization, the more they can get away with...but with the advent of blogging and increased consumer awareness, this seems to be changing. Here is a link to a movie I saw this summer called Outfoxed. According to the link, the movie "examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. The film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know." check it out if youre interested in this topic-Entertaining, yet frightening!
